Their map of Los Angeles was powerful – but there are 20 other cities to see. What’s interesting is that for Los Angeles there are a lot more colors (more ethnicities) than for other cities.
Here’s a quick tidbit: It’s a neat map, because there’s little drawings of historical events, modern landmarks, and even surfers and Will Rogers. The borders are crammed full of an illustrated history of L.A., like the founding of the city, the water wars and the bombing of the L.A. Times building. There’s USC and UCLA, of course, and the airport, tar pits, San Fernando Mission, Angels Flight, and the movie studios, but also weird stuff like a chinchilla farm that used to be near Inglewood? An inexplicable ostrich near Lincoln Heights? A lion farm near Alhambra? Really fun stuff to look at.

I got this the other day. Really cool map book… http://www.amazon.com/Los-Angeles-Maps-Glen-Creason/dp/0847833917

The Mapping LA Site from the LA Times, provides neighborhood boundaries and demographic information about them. They note that it will be expanded to the Southern California region. It will interesting to see what happens in some of the County’s Unincorporated areas, where there are disagreements and difficulties in making clear distinctions between neighborhoods. About Mapping L.A.Welcome to The Times’ map of the neighborhoods of Los Angeles, your portal to our new community pages for the city. Click on a neighborhood above to see a more detailed map with information about schools, income, demographics and news from your area. In the weeks ahead, we plan to keep adding more information, including crime statistics and restaurants finds. These neighborhoods were built with your help. In February 2009, we posted a first version of the map and asked readers to send us their critiques and suggestions. You responded. After reviewing more than 1,500 comments and maps posted on this site, Times staffers have made nearly 100 boundary changes, producing an updated map showing 114 neighborhood subdivisions within the city. But readers didn’t just comment on the boundaries; hundreds sent notes — short essays really — on the places they live. They were informative, humorous, thought-provoking and often eloquent. We hope to keep that conversation going. Please use these pages to tell us more about the places you live. For those who live in Southern California, but outside the city of Los Angeles, stay tuned. We plan to bring you the same type of community pages in the coming months. |
